"Murder Most Foul On Old Gorge Road," screamed the front-page headline of the The Kentbury Kaller on an August morning in 1951. Nestled in the bucolic setting of a rural county, the New Jersey hamlet of Kentbury is used to peace and quiet, interrupted only by an occasional traffic accident or domestic squabble, but now a gruesome murder has shattered that tranquility, bringing fear and distrust. Chief of Police, Bull Campbell and his new deputy, a decorated former Marine, find themselves up to their eyeballs in leads drawing them back to old town records, when they encounter strange rumors of happenings decades before. Could clues from the past explain who killed Gaffer White; and how could a fifty-year-old Death Certificate for an infant born in Califon relate to the crimes in Kentbury? Faced with a second murder and more questions than answers, the police grow desperate and enlist help from a noted Princeton psychiatrist. Trusting his expert advice, they set a trap to catch the evildoer who has been hiding in plain sight. Old Gorge Road is a rich offering of colorful characters and small town life, challenged when evil invades... by way of murder and madness. In this second Kentbury Mystery, following award-nominated The Light From Maggie's View, author Cheryl Nugent again invites us to wander back in time for a look behind the scenes, and discover what's really going in the Rolling Hills of Hunterdon County!
